The software can be used for free. It runs on Windows, MacOS, and Linux based operating system. The software developer recently release Gephi 0.9.2. This software is a good tool for data analyst and scientist who works and explores big data regularly.
Gephi aims to provide a complementary tool for traditional statistics. It has an visual interactive interface that helps data analyst to draw hypothesis and data patterns from big data network. This is a good software for exploratory data analysis and visual analytics in general.
Why use Gephi
Gephi is a powerful data visualization tools which is recommended for data analysts and scientist. This has many feature to boost for. Here are the key features of Gephi:
1. Real-time visualization
Users enjoys the fastest fastest graph visualization tool which speeds up the understanding and pattern discovery in large graphs. This was made possible by ad-hoc OpenGL engine that is integrated in Gephi. This feature makes Gephi data visualization effective and efficient.
2. Layout
Gephi enforced a state-of-the art layout algorithm that enables users to efficiently visualize data in high quality. This was done using forced-base algorithm which optimized the graph readability.
3. Metrics
Gephi users have access to common social network analysis metrics:
such as Betweenness Centrality, Closeness, Diameter, Clustering, Coefficient, PageRank, Community detection (Modularity), Random generators and Shortest path. (as qouted from Gephi).
4. Network over time
Users can manipulate network embedded timeline to visualize network evolution over time.
5. Create cartography
Users can create meaningful network representation using customize size, color and labels. In this way, a better network representation is shown. In addition, the network visuals can be exported as svg, pdf, and png.
